The Realities of Male Circumcision and How it Effects Female Sexual Health with Devi Ward Erickson

Author: freyagraf October 17, 2022 Duration: 1:18:36

Wow wow wow! This eppy is a MUST LISTEN! I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get the info in this episode out there and how fascinating you're going to find it when you listen!

I welcomed Devi Ward Erickson into The Labia Lounge this week to chat about the horrifying truth about infant male circumcision and we got into some seriously interesting and wild stuff that'll blow your mind!

Devi is the Founder of the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education and an ACS Certified Sexologist, Certified Tantric Healer, Certified Reiki Practitioner, Certified Meditation Instructor. She's been teaching meditation and personal growth workshops for over 20 years and she's a wealth of knowledge and a passionate, funny firecracker to boot!

We spoke about the impacts of male circumcision on the brain and limbic system, the impact it has on the development and future sexual lives of those who are circumcised, the important and amazing functions of the foreskin, the effect circumcision has on female pleasure, sexual health and the vagina, the history of this practice, the surprising frequency of botched operations and what to do about it if you've been circumcised and want your foreskin back! (foreskin restoration anyone?!)

 

(DISCLAIMER: there is a part of this podcast that I’ll be going back to edit out because I’ve since discovered it isn’t accurate - but I’m on holiday right now without my lappy! - so I just want to give you a heads up about the claim about accidental removal of the whole penls and gender reassignment surgery. Turns out that this DID happen at least once back in the 60s but isn’t something that occurs these days as far as I can tell from my research.)

This eppy is jam packed with so much valuable information, you're going to learn so much and take away so many fun foreskin facts to whip out at your next dinner party! Trust me! You don't want to miss this episode.

The resources Devi referred to in the ep are as follows:
